PlayStation Plus in December: Resogun, Guacamelee, GRID 2, more

Hi everyone! It’s a very exciting time here at PlayStation as we edge ever closer to the launch of PS4. As promised, PlayStation Plus will be with you from day one, ushering you into the next generation of console gaming with two incredible launch titles and access to immersive online multiplayer.

PlayStation 4 games:
First up, we are very pleased to welcome RESOGUN to the Instant Game Collection. As the spiritual successor to Super Stardust, RESOGUN is a side scrolling shoot-em-up with a unique and distinctive art style that really showcases the power of PS4. It also takes advantage of multiplayer functionality to fully utilise the PS4′s online features to create amazing social experiences.

Next up from our friends at Compulsion Games comes stylish platformer Contrast. Taking on the role of Dawn, the imaginary friend of a little girl, Didi, you have the power to shift from the 3D world into a 2D shadowscape.

Didi’s family isn’t perfect – her mother is a cabaret singer focused on her career, and her father isn’t around anymore. As her imaginary best friend, you must use your shadow-shifting abilities to solve complex puzzles and help Didi investigate the secrets that lie behind her troubled family.

PlayStation 3 games:
Buckle up – your first PS3 title is Codemasters adrenaline-fuelled racer GRID 2. Whether you’re competing online or solo, GRID 2 offers a fantastic blend of arcade and simulation racing. This is a game that wants you to experience the thrill of street racing combined with terrific handling, gorgeous environments, and a broad selection of event types.

Next up is Drinkbox Studios‘ acclaimed Cross Buy platformer Guacamelee! Inspired by traditional Mexican culture and folklore, the game builds upon a classic open-world Metroidvania structure by adding a strong melee combat component, a dimension switching mechanic, and co-operative same-screen multiplayer.

PS Vita games:
First up, join Sonic and friends in the highly addictive Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed. Compete across land, water and air in incredible transforming vehicles that change from cars to boats to planes mid-race. Master your driving skills as you drift, barrel roll and boost to overtake your rivals, or use your weapons tactically and unleash your All-Star move to gain the winning advantage.

Last but certainly not least, I’m very excited to announce that you’ll be able to download Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Storiesfrom 27th November. Take on the role of Toni in the troubled Liberty City, where warring mafia groups are ruling the streets through organised crime and political corruption. No one can be trusted and it’s up to you to clean up!

In addition to the great games mentioned above, PS Plus members will also have access to a range of big discounts this month. Keep checking PlayStation Blog for regular updates on new savings.

But that’s not all; PlayStation Plus members now get access to the TuneIn app for free by simply visiting PlayStation Store and hitting the download button! TuneIn is the world’s most popular service for listening to live, online radio. With over 70,000 AM, FM and internet radio stations. Non PS Plus members can take advantage of Cross Buy benefits when they purchase the application on either PS Vita or PS3.

LOVING the sonic game. I was so hoping it would be Sonic racing for the Vita and it is. That is seriously enough for me, but GRID 2 also? damn that’s good. Lovely to see Guacamelee as well, play that on PS3 and then pick up where I left off on my Vita at Uni.

A little disappointed that there’s no Annual update for Vita, and that GTA (a PSP game) is there, though I’ll give it a try. Also that I have to wait until the 27th, I want to play Sonic as soon as

Another month that isn’t for me, oh well guess i’ll download the ps4 titles even though im not picking one up till sometime after E3 next year. Really hope january is a better month cause so far the past 2 months worth of content wasn’t for me, not that im ungrateful or anything.

Pretty good month there, will definitely by playing Grid 2 and Sonic, then Resogun on PS4.
But what about Uncharted and Gravity Rush on Vita? These were originally going to be swapped in the summer and have now been up for a year.

So we are now down to one retail PS3 game and one PSN, we have one vita game and one PSP game, is anyone else starting to see a deterioration in PS+ offering.
Hopefully the vita annual update can restore my faith, also the inclusion of Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is a positive.

Meh, I guess the PS4 titles are nice however I think I’ll be sticking to my retail titles on my next gen system. The PS3 titles are really underwhelming for me, not a racing fan at all. Oh well, there’s always next month.

Hmmm PS Plus is definitely becoming weaker now that PS4 is added to the game. It was stated that adding PS4 games wouldn’t influence the Vita/PS3 offering, but seeing last two months, that is definitely not the case. One PS3 game less, PSP games for Vita, no rollover of the yearly Vita games. Plus, Sonic Racing? Really?

Nope, not really a positive development. Hope you’ll have better news next month!

Brilliant update. Resogun was Day One for my PS4 anyways and Contrast looks amazing plus GTA LCS will keep my Vita happy aswell. This is all just making the rest of November more unbearable till the 29th finally gets here.

Spent many happy hours on the PC version of Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed (along with the original) so really looking forward to playing the PS Vita version. Nice to see a racing theme with Grid 2 as well. Heard many great things about Guacamelee! so I am also looking forward to that one.

I also asked several times to forward the question why we lost a ps3 title and the US didnt and why the yearly Vita titles arent replaced but still didnt get an answer. Seems we are back to the days the PS3 launched and Sony had a very arrogant attitude. X1 is becoming more attrative every day.

Well by the time i get my PS4 i should have a pretty nice backlog of games… PS3 game is ok, not really a race fan but still will play it. So glad I didnt buy Guacamelee in the Crossbuy Sale and you give me Sonic for Vita!

To be honest, Unchatred PSVita and Gravity Rush, If they stay, they stay. I know allot of people who dont have a Vita yet but want one when PS4 comes… Great games to start with!

Might not be the right place to ask, but is there any news on R&C Into the Nexus for the Vita?

I must say I find this month a bit disappointing I rather would have had ps- all stars battle royale instead of grid .
But that doesn’t really matter I was wondering is there a chance for a ps3 disgaea game to end up in the IGC. Or a different J-rpg/ S-rpg.
I must say i did/still enjoy the games from past months.

I have waaaaaaaaay too many free games to play! (Not a complaint mind you )

Was just wondering; I’m planning on getting a PS4 after Christmas, so as to not miss any great free titles with Plus in between now and then, is there a way I can order them now for when my PS4 comes? Thanks.

Very disappointing, Resogun looks awesome but it will be a while before i get a ps4, not big on racing and i’d rather play Most Wanted if i want to have a spin, so only Guacamelee to look forward to, which i do so that’s nice But still, the plus value is dropping hard i feel.
